KF's pointers for project


  • Many of you didn't provide a caption for your collage. Take this seriously. It's an opportunity to learn how to write a complex argument into a soundbite, using visual support.

  • Many of you didn't list stakeholders. Please provide a long list -- showing me that you know how to analyze the social/political ecology of the issue you are looking at, identifying key stakeholders.

  • When I ask for supporting links, I would like a really rich set -- showing that you know which organizations are working on the problem (and have supporting webpages), what documentaries have been made, etc.

  • You need to include in-text citations: at the end of relevant sentences. Like this (Fortun 2008).

  • Your reference list should include full citations, including author name, title, journal or newspaper, date, etc. Any format is okay so long as you are consistent.

  • Work on ways to make your presentations more visually accessible and compelling. Subheads often help. Embedding images in your text can be good.
